Hello Danielle!

My Mission! Why? Do you have a mission? Yes, I believe so.

I will give you step by step in different posts my mission.

Let's begin with LOGOS. In the Bible it is translated with word. The English word do not give the real meaning of Greek Logos.

Logos, is the scientific and coded intelligence of using the words to give specific meaning of all knowledge. In the Bible you find WORD but LOGOS is GODS KNOWLEGE. It includes everything, an eternal wisdom used to create and generate intelligence.

Today scientist agree that the translation is incomplete.
LOGOS>>WORD>>LEXIS. Which Greek word is equal to word? Lexis or logos? In my, meaning lexis means word. Compare with Lexicon which means wordlist.

Well my Mission is to remember the past by working today to develope,  and to leave a track for the future.

Hello Georgios :-)

Very interesting topic!
While reading through the posts, I remembered one of Eminescu's poems:

To my critics

There are countless flowers,
But few will yield a crop.
All knock at life’s entrance
But many dead will drop.

It is easy to write verses
When you have nothing to impart
And line up empty words
That shall rhyme at the last part.

But real lust and much passion
When your heart blends,
Your brain at their petition
To every part of it listens.

And like flowers at life’s door,
They knock at thought’ means of access.
The entry in life, they all look for,
They ask for the speech’s dress.

For your own passions,
And for your own days,
Where you have the judges?
—Your pitiless chilly eyes—

Oh! Then it looks as if on you,
The sky falls over,
The word that expresses the truth
Where shall you discover?

You critics, with fruitless flowers,
One thing you did not create.
It is easy to write verses,
When you have nothing to state.

(1883, December)

I hope the translation gives you the same "impression" as mine knowing this as Eminescu wrote it! He is difficult to translate due to his very complex poetry! Not just the "logos" used and rhymes, but rhythm and melody too!

Looking forward to read more of your thoughts!-click!-
With friendship,
Anamaria

Hello Giorgios,
I hope I may partake in the discussion about the Word? I'd like to present a short answer  by Abdu'l-Baha, the One Interpreter of the Bahai Writings:

"The perfections of Christ are called the Word, because all beings are in the condition of letters, and one letter has not a complete meaning, whilst the perfections of Christ have the power of the Word, because a complete meaning can be inferred from a Word.
As the Reality of Christ was the manifestation of the divine perfections, therefore it was like a word.Why? Because He is the sum of perfect meanings. This is why He is called  the Word."

As a Bahai I am satisfied with this.

This subject has more to it and I could tell you more, but I wish to see first if this  answer, so short and concise, is received with appreciation.

Bye for now
Laila
